Transparent huge page has supported read-only non-shmem files. The file-
backed THP is collapsed by khugepaged and truncated when written (for
shared libraries).
However, there is a race when multiple writers truncate the same page
cache concurrently.
In that case, subpage(s) of file THP can be revealed by find_get_entry
in truncate_inode_pages_range, which will trigger PageTail BUG_ON in
truncate_inode_page, as follows.
